Wanna play your fantasy settings with a human? Wanna try a new player-made mod or Warlords scenario? Challenge me!I will play any settings with any player in 1v1 PBEM! You name it, you got it!
Post here with whatever settings and options (please be specific because whatever settings you don't choose, I will) you want and what civ you want to play. Say whether it is to be a Warlords or vanilla civ 4 game. The only restriction is that you must choose settings and options that are regulated by the game or mod.
Your name will be added to this list when your game begins (when the first save is returned to me). I will post a screenshot of the game scores and victory condition achieved as each game ends. Only serious offers, please.
Also, I would like to round up seven players for a PBEM Chinese Unification game. If you are up to it, mention CU in your post. I'll take the first six players who apply.
I am now playing games with:
binTravkin, 1v1
Rasputin, Ras & CT vs. AI & AI

What's the CU game about?
Im ready to do the first match with you, myself picking Huayna Capac and wanting to play on following settings:
speed: quick
map size: duel
map type: pangea
water level: low
climate: temperate
difficulty: deity
no AIs (If i it wasn't supposed to be so already)
start: from the very beginning
game version: vanilla 1.61
Okay on those settings?

Chinese Unification or (CU) is a Warlords scenario that is based on the historical unification of China's seven feudal nation-states. However, in the scenario, events do not have to happen as they did in real life!

Those settings are fine, bin. Just send me your email addy via PM or the systems email and we'll begin. You want any of the boxes checked like No Barbs or anything?

The only scenarios I've played fully are Vikings and Barbarians! I know nothing about CU other than what is in the manual, so all of us will be breaking new ground.

Ras, let's play a 2v2 PBEM game with you and me against the AI. The AI will be noble but I'll give you plenty of tips as we play, if you're willing to be coached.

Possibly. Haven't you guys started already?
EDIT: Ack, Deity... um haven't played above Monarch.
polarnomad, most people play deity when it is just humans as it let's the game last longer and make it more challenging, and more fun.
The only time deity is impossible is when it is against AI.
Ah yes, I see your point.
Well, if someone wants another player to clobber on then I would be up for a game. I started one with a few others last year, but someone dropped out, and the game came to a standstill. I did enjoy it while it lasted though. Haven't tried one since, if you don't count C4DG.
any games of pbem that start you can include me, i need practice.
I never palyed above noble level and that was only for like a few hours of boredom so i went back to Settler mucg more fun

How is settler fun?
It isn't impossible anytimeThe only time deity is impossible is when it is against AI.
Well, if only you find yourself in a few tile peninsula blocked by Ghengis Khan..

...with raging barbarians.
Well, if you're taking raging barbarians, you can still do good with Incas or Aztecs who have good units that don't require special resources (like quechua and jaguar warrior).
Actually worth trying

I dont study the intricacies of the game, i dont micro manage my cities i leave that to the Auto overnor to do, I dont examine every research option to figure where i going, i choose diferent paths each game to see what happens.
I also find that no early units are good enough to beat an AI so have to wait till cavalry to arrive to start any wars. I have heard people speak of Warrior rushes but all my warriors always lose against the AI citys and even lose often agaisnt the Barbarians.

alright, you're on! Read the first post, follow the instructions and PM or email me your email addy. Then, I'll start the game, send you the save and away we go!Originally posted by polarnomad

The intention of my post was not to show Im any smarter or anysuch, I was just questioning impossibility of the said game settings.Not all of us are as clever as you are

Warrior rushes are useless actually for anything but killing workers and disrupting infrastructure.
If you feel like trying some rush again, try quechua rush - build some 6-7 quechuas from the game start without a single interruption in production and send them out towards your opponent.
Both AI and human are usually guarding cities with archers in early game (AI's doing so up to crossbows/longbows), so it's possible to rush them with quechuas, who have a strenght of 4 vs archers (2base + 100%) and can have even more if you get at least one upgrade by killing a barb.

Ok, cool. I'll not be able to get around to it until this weekend though. Am swamped with work.Originally posted by Colonel_Treize

Colonel, how are you doing?
I mean if you're back and have sent your turn to me, I haven't yet recieved it.

Alright, I'll attempt to send it again. I have been having problems with email accounts and spam filters, in my games here and at the Ladder.

I would actually be up for a CU game too. I completed the Mongol scenario, but other than that I have very little Warlords game time under my sleeve.
Otherwise, if you guys want to set up a 3 human game then I would be cool with just about any settings, as long as it's not too big, the difficulty is set to Prince or Monarch, the speed to normal, and the map isn't flat.
EDIT: Vanilla or Warlords
